Sandia Inc. wants to acquire a $360,000 computer-controlled printing press. If owned, the press would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a book salvage value of $0. The actual cash salvage value is expected to be $25,000 at the end of 10 years. If purchased, Sandia will incur annual maintenance expenses of $3,000. These expenses would not be incurred if the press is leased. If the press is purchased, Sandia could borrow the needed funds at an annual pre-tax interest rate of 10%. The lease rate would be $48,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. If Sandia has an after-tax cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 40%, what is the net advantage to leasing? a. $37,737 b. $65,543 c. $60,713 d. $57,173

a. $37,737

Explanation:

Present value of Cost of Buying = The Cost of Press + [(Post Tax annual maintenance expenses - Annual Depreciation Tax shield)*PVIFA (6%,10)] - [Post tax Salvage Value*PVIF (12%,10)]

PV of Cost of Buying = 360000 + (3000*(1-40%)-360000/10*40%)*7.360 - 25000*(1-40%) * 0.322

PV of Cost of Buying = $262,434

Present value of Cost of Leasing = Post tax Lease Payment at the Beginning *(1+PVIFA(6%,9))

PV of Cost of Leasing = $48000*(1-40%)*(1+6.802)

PV of Cost of Leasing = $224,697

Net advantage to leasing = PV of Cost of Buying - PV of Cost of Leasing

Net advantage to leasing = $262,434 - $224,697

Net advantage to leasing = $37,737

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
